This is as it should be, as the Fletcher
mill is good for its size, and should not
be allowed to rest. All honor to the
Washburn company for their ambition

leave nothing standing still III this
world OF motion.
Between Fletcher's mill and Bray &

}. B. Chatterton, who is ''solid Null
doom" in business and out of it, claims
that it is the first cedar mill ever built
on the Mississippi. 1t was the work of
HObert Il Perkins, eight years ago, and
six months after date of its completion
Perkins was bought out by Mr.. Chatter
ton. From that time everything went
well, HObert & Chatterton making a
good team till 1886, when Hobert got a
telephone or some other kind
of a dispatch, requesting that
he takes walk up the ''golden stairs"
Having Obeyed the mandate to go hither,

who are fortunate in the choice
OF a foreman, he being no other
Charles Baldwin, under whose deft
management the output jumped from
twelve to fourteen tons per day. AT the
saw mill of Nelson & Tenney they have
worked for the past week, but that is
inevitable, as the teeth are kept on
edge-an important matter in a saw
mill-by the old veteran, James Graves.
Last week the cut was 10000.
Clough Bros mill close by, which
has been idle so long, was in motion all
the week till Saturday afternoon, when

logs, overlook them.
At the falls everything went we'll dur

fully fills the bill.
The 10th inst. will be pay day at the
De Soto, when all the employees will have
an occasion to produce that pleasing
smile which adorned their cOuntenances
on the 10th of last month, which was
actually ''three feet long," and which,
no doubt, has been reserved ''Only" for
state occasions, as it failed to ''material-
iZe since" Assistant Treasurer Nc
Laughton, who is also the man of all
work in the Office, is the ''fair-haired
boy" with the men at least, on pay day,
fails to be that with the girls every day
in the month, aye, and even majority
of the nights. too.
Ed Jackson, the day millwright at the
De Soto, expects to go out West next
winter to put up a new mill. Charles
Herman, who runs the shingle mill, was
laid up few days by ''tip'' from one

since kept him from praying, though he
is tending to business, as usual.
The framing of the Shingle Creek
elevator is nearly completed, and they
are to certain extent waiting for the
foundation to commence raising. Mr..
Carleton, the foreman and contractor,
is man of considerable push and
energy. He has another large contract
waiting for him in ST. Paul. He is for
tunate in having Robert Martin among
his employees.
E. 81. Gromenhausen, who is foreman
for putting in the machinery, has COM
menced work already and has three or
four men at work, the most he can use
at present. Frank Slater, the thorough
millwright and mechanic from Bay City,
Mich, is going to work for him on Mon
day. He may lawfully congratulate
himself on the acquisition of Mr.. Slater,
who has been for months past engaged
on some very important patent which
no one knows anything about as yet, but
which will be given to the public in the
near future.
